About the adventure
In the 80's and 90's, Deep Lake, NM was home to a notorious public access channel called TV Odyssey. But one day, it simply disappeared, building and all. Very little is known of what happened to the station, but you remember it so clearly. You and some others who you connected with on shady forums –the Deep Lake Latchkeys– have returned to Degoya County, where TV Odyssey is just the beginning of the mysteries you will find. Public Access is a Carved from Brindlewood game (Brindlewood Bay, The Between) and focuses on investigation, solving mysteries and exploring backstory and character relationships. Through the course of the game, many mysteries will be presented to you. You will find clues, and reveal what happened by connecting them! During this game, we will be using the Skinny Jeans rules to shorten the game, but not lose any of the momentum or story! You do not need a copy of the game to play, but you are welcome to look it up on DriveThruRPG!

Creating your character
Character creation will happen during the first session. Public Access is a Carved from Brindlewood game, so character creation takes minutes. No need to worry about backstory, as that will be revealed in the course of the game.
What to expect
Preparing for the session
You will need to be able to connect to the call over Zoom, have access to Google Docs/Sheets, and we will use Discord to coordinate and chat! I will send you an invite link when you join the game!
What Mal 🏳️⚧️ (archangelic) brings to the table
I am an improv-forward GM, and this game works very well with improvisation! I bring nuanced and interesting NPCs (called Side Characters) and promise to bring a sense of dread to all the intense situations you will find in the course of the game! You do not need a copy of Public Access, and everything you need to play will be in the character keeper!

How Mal 🏳️⚧️ (archangelic) creates a safe table
I use XNO cards at the table. During Session 0, we will go over Lines and Veils and CATS (Concept, Aim, Theme, Subject). After each session, we will do Stars and Wishes, so that we stay aligned on what we want out of the game!
